Recipe: Banana Buttermilk Buckwheat Pancakes

BANANA BUTTERMILK BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES

"Everyone's home for a long breakfast and it isn't Sunday? It's time for Banana Buttermilk Buckwheat Pancakes, a healthy and fun way to help fill a morning together. But the folks at the Ten Inverness Way bed and breakfast turn healthy and fun into a way of life in Inverness on the California coast, whether spending a morning chatting in the kitchen or taking a jaunt to the Point Reyes National Seashore."

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
4 tsp baking power
2 eggs, lightly beaten
4 tbsp butter, melted
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup milk
2 ripe bananas, mashed

In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, buckwheat flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and baking powder.

In another bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Add liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring well.

Drop by 1/3-cupfuls onto a 350 degree F griddle. Bake until the surface of the pancake is covered with bubbles that do not break, about 2-3 minutes. Turn and brown the other side. Remove to heated platter and repeat until all batter is used.

Makes 4-6 servings
